Chapter 59: So Gentle When Spoiling People
Princess Hua Ran had put a lot of thought into organizing this tea party. Although the arrival of the uninvited guest dampened everyone's mood, Princess Hua Yang didn't cause any major trouble after her combined soft and hard tactics. Therefore, although this tea party was regrettable, it was also a smooth process.
Hua Ran personally saw the ladies off. After saying goodbye to Hua Ran, everyone got on their own carriages in groups of three or four.
Qin Xiaoning and the Sixth Girl were just about to be helped into the car by their maids when they suddenly heard a warm call.
"Sister Qing'er, wait a moment."
The two of them turned their heads at the same time, and when they saw who it was, the Sixth Girl was so frightened that she almost fell off the carriage.
The person who spoke was not someone else, but Princess Huayang.
Could it be that he didn't get the upper hand at the tea party just now, so he's here to look for it again?
The Sixth Girl immediately got into position and even clenched her fists.
If she couldn't win the argument, she would resort to violence. In short, she couldn't let this bitch princess bully her.
The Sixth Miss was ready to fight, but Huayang grinned at her and said, "Sister Qing'er, I may have offended you in the other garden just now, please don't take it to heart."
The Sixth Miss was stunned when she heard that, and she and Qin Xiaoning looked at each other. Qin Xiaoning had no idea what Huayang was up to, so she shook her head slightly at the Sixth Miss. The Sixth Miss hummed and laughed, then tilted her head back to look at the sky.
"Sister Qing'er, what are you looking at?" Huayang walked up and smiled at the sixth girl.
The Sixth Girl sneered and replied, "Let me see if the sun rises from the west."
Huayang's face darkened immediately upon hearing this, but she smiled again: "Sister Qing'er, I sincerely apologize to you, please don't reject me like that."
The Sixth Miss frowned and said, "Huayang, you look even better when you're angry than when you're smiling."
After saying that, she pulled Qin Xiaoning into the carriage. After they sat down, the Sixth Girl shouted to the coachman, "Let's go!"
As the carriage rolled along, the Sixth Miss looked through the window at Huayang, who was left behind and stamping his feet in anger, and snorted coldly, "If someone is being nice to me for no reason, he must be a traitor or a thief. I am really confused. What is the intention of this annoying princess who suddenly showed me kindness?"
What could be the intention?
For Lu Ji.
Qin Xiaoning saw through it but pretended not to know. She just smiled faintly and said nothing.
Jiang Fu from the Marquis Zhongshun's Mansion was originally going the same way as Qin Xiaoning and the Sixth Miss, but her last blind date with the Lu family made Jiang Fu lose face, so she deliberately left a little later to avoid going with Qin Xiaoning and the Sixth Miss.
Jiang Fu sat in the carriage, recalling the scenes at today's tea party, feeling mixed emotions.
Lu Ji is really popular, what a pity, such a good man was missed in vain.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"Miss, the person riding behind seems to be the young master of the Lu family." The little maid who spoke was Jiang Fu's personal maid. Naturally, she knew what her master was thinking. Seeing that they met by chance on the street, the little maid's tone was full of joy: "Miss, since we bumped into each other, why not say hello."
When Jiang Fu heard that it was Lu Ji, her heart started beating wildly.
"Why should I rush to say hello to him?" Jiang Fu couldn't help but get angry when she thought of Lu Ji's rude treatment during the blind date that day.
She raised her hand to draw the curtain, then sat on the couch with a wooden face, panting with anger. Seeing the sound of horse hooves approaching from behind, her heart beat even faster.
Finally, she pulled open the curtain of the carriage for some unknown reason, and when she stuck her head out, Lu Ji was about to ride past her carriage. "Second cousin." She called out to him involuntarily.
But as soon as she said this, she became upset again and hated herself for being so useless.
Lu Ji looked over when he heard the voice, his face expressionless, as if he took a moment to recognize the person: "Oh, going out?"
It was a very forced and perfunctory response, as if they were reluctant to even give a complete sentence.
Jiang Fu's face immediately turned red with embarrassment, but she glanced at the heroic man on the horse. She didn't have the nerve to get angry with him, so she just smiled faintly and greeted him for no reason: "Today, County Lady Hua Ran held a tea party in the villa, and Miss Six and Miss Qin also went." As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed to the front, "They should not have gone far."
Lu Ji nodded, and without even bothering to say goodbye, he waved the silver whip in his hand, mounted his horse and chased after him.
He chased all the way to the gate of the mansion and just saw his own carriage stop. Lu Ji jumped off the horse swiftly and strode to the front of the carriage.
"Second brother?" The Sixth Miss was surprised: "Why did you come back so early today?"
Lu Ji didn't say a word. The Sixth Girl held her brother's hand and walked out of the carriage. Then, she jumped lightly and got off the carriage neatly. Then, Lu Ji reached out to Qin Xiaoning in the carriage. Qin Xiaoning put her hand in his palm and was about to jump down like the Sixth Girl holding him. When she jumped, Lu Ji held her steadily in his arms.
In front of the Sixth Miss and the servants outside, Qin Xiaoning blushed and punched him with her fist, shouting in a low voice, "Stop it."
Lu Ji was holding the person in his arms, but he had a naughty look on his face. He kept teasing her and refused to let go.
Qin Xiaoning twisted her body and slid out of his arms. The moment her body left his arms, Lu Ji's big hand pinched her waist through her dress.
Qin Xiaoning turned around and gave him a cold look.
The fierce look in his eyes warned him not to mess around.
Then, the little woman quickly straightened her dress and followed the Sixth Miss into the mansion as if she was escaping.
Lu Ji glanced at her cute and flustered appearance, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his usually stern face.
Jiang Fu happened to pass by Yongning Mansion on her way back home. This brief scene of Lu Ji flirting with Qin Xiaoning in front of the door happened to fall into Jiang Fu's eyes.
Last time, in the villa, although Lu Ji seemed to be very cruel to the concubine, women are always sensitive. That day, Jiang Fu saw that Lu Ji cared about this girl.
It is placed at the apex of my heart.
That's why she could make him angry, but whenever he saw her, he was too stingy to even say a word.
Seeing him flirting with the concubine tenderly again today, Jiang Fu's heart was hurt even more. She could never have imagined that such a cold and solemn man could be so gentle once he doted on a woman.
If you can't get the person you want, you should let go. But once you fall in love, it is so heartbreaking to watch that person give all his or her love to someone else.
Jiang Fu looked at Lu Ji absentmindedly for a long time through the car window, until Lu Ji strode into the mansion after his sweetheart, and then Jiang Fu slowly lowered the car curtain.
My face felt cold.
Jiang Fu raised her hand and touched it, and without knowing when, she found herself in tears.
